Welcome to this wonderfully situated four bedroom single story home! Just a short stroll to Craig Regional Park, shopping at Brea Mall, and plenty of nearby restaurant choices. Neat and tidy landscaping both in front and back, with a private grassy backyard, pretty rose garden and bountiful fruit orchard w/lemons, oranges, and juicy apricots! Solid oak flooring is hidden beneath carpeting throughout most of the home. A rock-faced fireplace warms the formal living and dining rooms.
